The other day, I was in my room and I was playing games on my phone. Suddenly my mum opend the door and she shouted: "you've been glued to your phone for 5 hours!". After that, she forbade me to use my phone on weekdays.

Happily, I haven't been in any difficult situations recently, but reading all these comments I feel really san for all people who got in troubles. I wish them to be more lucky and I hope that their fails taught them something ;)

1 month ago I had a parrot. He was very funny and beautiful. But one day my family and I went to our county house . I began disassemble. On the next day my father opened the cell and my parrot flew away. I haven't seen him(

One day my parents boughts two chicks and I was very happy. Like 3 weeks later they died because the hot temperature.. I had been so sad like for two weeks. That situation was very difficult. -Sergio Gabriel A01283240

Yes, I remember very well one time when I was in the gym and brought my cell phone with me, and I was working in a machine when suddenly my headphones got entangled in the machine and my cell phone fell to the floor breaking. To this day I keep saving for a good cell phone because the one I have at the moment is not as good as it was the other one.

When I was 15 years old I was playing beach volleyball with Nuevo Leon team, I was so excited to play the nacional olympiad, my coach chose me to go to play to acapulco but there was a problem with the management system and I could not go, so another girl took my place and I cried a lot because I was very excited and had given a lot of effort in all the trainings to be chosen.

When I was 14 years old, I had to get a high punctuation at the admission exam at TEC, I had a lot of homework and I didn´t had time to study. There was so mucho work to do that I didn´t know what to do, the date of the exam had arrived and I had just studied about 1 hour, luckily I got a high grade and I was accepted at the school, after that I had to do so much homework, and I almost failed. All the effort was worthy.

I have a really big problem in my life, 2 weeks ago my dog run out of my house and never come again in it, now Im very sad because I miss a lot my friendly dog and I dont know how can I find him again or how to skip this sad from my life :(

Well, I had a dog last year. It was friendly and beautiful dog. One day when I was watching TV I hear a noise and I ran out to look what happened and I saw to my dog on the street, she was hit by a car and she died. I wouldn’t believe, but it was true. Then I cryed for many days and I remembered the good moments when she played whit me. It’s one of bad situations on my live.

My opinion about the video this time I think it is okay to apologize because they stole a foreign cell or the death of the pet. But the guy who apologizes for failing the subject should feel very ashamed, should not do it again.

Yes. One Day my dog, Pongo, was with my family and me in the park, and in one moment he took off his leash and run away to the street and cross it when a car was passing. The sir of the car stopped and his son hit the front window for not having the belt. It was a big problem because the sir said us that we need to pay the broken windshield, and he didn't worried at all in his son. My family only want to know how the kid was, they didn't had the problem of paying what the sir wanted.

I have been through many difficult situations, but recently the most difficult one I been in, is faliling the course of math 1 and having to recourse it all because I've failed, but in this course I have been learning more nd rehearsing much about all the themes that I didn't understand.
